news…..the real story!

The fifth and last rendition of a blue crab in this series, like the first, I don’t have with me, but for a different reason: I don’t believe it exists yet. It’s the one which, if it did exist, might very well hang in the Louvre, or the National Gallery, or the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum, even though the people who came to see it might never have seen a blue crab, live or steamed, or know where Chesapeake Bay is, unless they looked it up or came around the world to visit because they loved the drawing so. I wish there were a Rembrandt drawing of a crab, blue or otherwise, to illustrate my point; but they don’t have Callinectes sapidus in the North Sea, and Rembrandt didn’t go in much for still lifes anyhow, though he was very big on windmills and canal boats. The best I could find is this reproduction of a Rembrandt pen-and-wash drawing of a different animal: two birds of paradise, done in whites and gray-yellows about 1637, three years after Lord Baltimore’s people stepped ashore in Maryland and committed the first recorded murder in the Old Line State. The original of this drawing does in fact hang in the Louvre. I invite you to notice two things about it, and then we’ll get to our own bottom line.

That is how I left her, at five o’clock. At four forty-five she had begun, as I’d rather expected, to express hatred for me, whether feigned (this kind of thing can be sensuous sport) or sincere I couldn’t say, since her eyes were closed and her face averted. What she said, throatily, was “God damn your eyes, God damn your eyes, God damn your eyes. . .” in rhythm with what happened to be in progress at the time, and I was not so committed to my mood that it didn’t strike me as funny. But I was weary of dramatics, genuine or not, amusing or not, and when things reached their naturaldenouement I was glad enough to make my exit, forgetting entirely about Miss Rankin’s keys. The lady had talent, but no discipline. I’m sure we neither wished to see the other again.

I ate at a roadstand outside Wicomico and finally got back to my room at six-thirty, feeling terrible. I was a man of considerable integrity within the limits of a given mood, but I was short on endurance. I felt bad already about this Peggy Rankin — irritated that at her age she hadn’t yet learned how to handle her position, how to turn its regrettable aspects as much as possible to her own advantage –and at the same time very much sympathetic with her weakness. I had, abstractly at least, a tremendous sympathy for that sort of weakness — a person’s inability either to control his behavior by his own standards or to discipline his standards, down to the last shred of conscience, to fit his behavior — even though in particular situations it sometimes annoyed me. Everything that had happened with Miss Rankin could have been high sport — the groveling, the hysterics, the numerous other things that I’ve not felt like sharing by recording them — had she kept hard control of her integrity; but her error, I feared, was that she would recriminate herself for some time afterwards for having humbled herself in fact, and not in fun, and mine was in not walking out when I’d started to, regardless of her hysterics. Had I done so I’d have preserved my own tranquillity and allowed Miss Rankin to regain hers by despising me instead of both of us. I had remained, I think, both out of a sense of chivalry, to which I often inclined though I didn’tbelieve in it, and out of a characteristic disinclination to walk out on any show, no matter how poor or painful, once I’d seen the first act.

But there was a length of time beyond which I could not bear to be actively displeased with myself, and when that time began to announce its approach — about seven-fifteen — I went to sleep. Only the profundity and limited duration of my moods kept me from being a suicide: as it was, this practice of mine of going to bed when things got too awful, this deliberate termination of my day, was itself a kind of suicide, and served its purpose just as efficiently. My moods were little men, and when I killed them they stayed completely dead.

The buzzer from the front door woke me at nine o’clock, and by the time I got up and put a robe on, Joe Morgan and his wife were at my door. I was surprised, but I invited them in cheerfully, because I knew as soon as I opened my eyes that sleep had changed my emotional scenery: I felt fine. Rennie Morgan, to whom I was introduced, was by no means my idea of a beautiful woman; she looked like an outdoorsman’s wife. Rather large-framed, blond, heavier than I, strong-looking, and exuberant, she was not the type of woman whom one (or at leastthis one) thinks of instinctively in sexual terms. Yet of course there I was, appraising her in sexual terms: no doubt my afternoon’s adventure influenced both the nature and the verdict of my appraisal.

“Can I offer you anything to eat?” I asked her, and I was pleased to see that both of them were apparently in good spirits.

“No, thanks,” Joe smiled; “we’ve eaten enough for three already.”

“We saw your car out front,” Rennie said, “and wondered whether the plane had gotten in from Baltimore yet.”

“You Morgans will track a man to his very lair!” I protested.

Because we all seemed to be feeling friendly, and because Joe and Rennie had the good sense not to make acause célèbre out of afait accompli, if I may say so, I fetched bottles of ale from the case I had on ice down in the kitchen and told them the whole story of my day, omitting none but the most decidedly indelicate details (and those more from my own embarrassment than from Rennie’s, who seemed able to take it straight), by way of entertainment.

We got on extremely well. Rennie Morgan, though lively, seemed to be just a trifle unsure of herself; her mannerisms — like the habit of showing excruciating hilarity by squinting her eyes shut and whipping her head from side to side, or her intensely excited gestures when speaking — were borrowed directly from Joe, as were both the matter and the manner of her thinking. It was clear that in spite of the progress she’d evidently made toward being indistinguishable from her husband, she was still apprehensive about the disparity between them. Whenever Joe took issue with a statement she’d made, Rennie would argue the point as vigorously as possible, knowing that that was what he expected her to do, but there was in her manner the same nervous readiness to concede that one might expect in a boy sparring with his gym teacher. The metaphor, in fact, if you add to it a touch of Pygmalion and Galatea, pretty well covers everything about their relationship that I could see that evening, and though I’d no ultimate objection at all to such a relationship — after all, Galateawas a remarkable woman, and some uneasy young pugilists grow up to be Gene Tunney — the presence of two so similarly forceful people was overwhelming: I several times caught myself whippingmy head from side to side as they did, at some especially witty remark, or gesticulating excitedly after their fashion while making a point.

Dragon Nest is located on the edge of cliff in the valley of Paro in Bhutan. This place is capable of stunning the visitors. The only sound that will break the silence of this place is the prayer of the monks and the sounds of their worship equipment. The most beautiful scenery can be found in the sangtopelri garden in front of the Tiger Nest mountain that can be reached by simple cable car which is often used by the monks.

Greek firefighters are facing another day battling wildfires still threatening areas north of Athens.

Thousands of residents of the capital’s northern suburbs were forced to leave their homes as dozens of houses and large areas of forest were burnt.

But a Greek government spokesman said the immediate danger had passed and a BBC correspondent said many of the fires had now been put out.

Aircraft from several countries are dropping water on the fires.

The BBC’s Malcolm Brabant in the area says planes are flying over constantly as they battle the remaining fires, and winds are not as powerful as they were on previous days.

WIMBLEDON, England – The new roof wasn’t tested. Roger Federer was – briefly.
The retractable roof stayed open Monday at Wimbledon, and Federer fell behind early in the opening match on Center Court before charging past Yen-hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei, 7-5, 6-3, 6-2.
In his first match since winning the French Open, Federer failed to convert his first four break-point chances, then lost serve to trail 3-2. But he immediately broke back, broke again in the final game of the opening set and dominated from there.
“I’m very happy with my first round,” Federer said. “I thought it was a very solid performance.”
Seeking his sixth Wimbledon title, Federer won for the 41st time in his past 42 matches at the All England Club. The lone loss came in last year’s final to Rafael Nadal, a match hailed by some as the sport’s best ever.
The tournament began in cloudy but dry weather. When it rains, the translucent roof on the 87-year-old stadium will be closed so play can continue.
“I guess the moment will come that I’ll play indoors here,” Federer said. “But you don’t really hope for it during the match.”
The No 2-seeded Federer is a strong favorite to win his 15th major title, which would break the record he shares with Pete Sampras.
Advancing on the women’s side were 2002-03 champion Serena Williams and 2004 winner Maria Sharapova. No 17 James Blake was the first seeded player eliminated, but fellow Americans Mardy Fish and Vince Spadea advanced. No 4-seeded Novak Djokovic also won.
Federer made his entrance sporting a sleek new white warmup outfit with gold trim that included a jacket with a turned-up collar, a vest, slacks and two-toned shoes. The crowd roared when he appeared, and he responded with a wave and smile.
There were more cheers – and a few whistles of approval – when he removed his jacket to reveal the vest.
“Kind of a little bit more modern look – a bit more military jacket this time, but obviously staying true to Wimbledon with the white colors,” Federer said. “I hope people like it.”
By the time the match started, Federer had stripped down to shorts and a short-sleeve shirt. He was assigned to play the first match on Centre Court after defending champion Nadal withdrew Friday because of sore knees.
“Rafa deserves it obviously more than I do this year,” Federer said. “But somebody had to do it, so I’m very happy that they chose me. It gets your heart beating, that’s for sure.”
After being broken early, Federer held every service game. He finished with 10 unforced errors and hit 42 winners from all over the court.
One winner was a running backhand from several steps beyond the sideline, which he ripped up the line into the corner to win the point. It was a spectacular shot even by Federer’s standards, and the stoic Swiss celebrated with a raised fist as the crowd roared.
